Synoptic unit: what does english literature tell us about inequality? assignment

Francis Duggan, the writer, uses emotive language to try and persuade the reader to see how these unfortunate children have to live, and how we, as the wealthier, can chose to ignore them, and continuously spend money on unnecessary luxuries. This ignorance also relates back to Bruno’s father, because he is aware of how the prisoners in the camps are being treated, and forced to work, yet chooses to do nothing.

Again, the reader can see the inequality, and the forgotten,” just beyond the leafy suburb is the suburb of neglect and decay” This expresses, that even though the wealthy are next to the homeless, they are, or choose to be, oblivious to the rotting, decaying, ignored area, showing the injustice, and financial inequality. The reader feels sympathy towards the children, and most people would feel they want to help in some way, because of the way the author hits people’s emotions.
